Ingestive behavior of lambs fed relocated and inoculated whole-plant corn silage

We aimed to determine the effect of relocation whole-plant corn silage (WPCS) with different fermentation profiles on ingestive behavior lambs. Twenty-four male Santa Inês lambs, were used in a completely randomized block design based initial body weight (17.5 ± 1.8 kg) for following treatments: CS: WPCS (not inoculated and not relocated); R-12h: relocated 12h; IR-12h: Lactobacillus plantarum R-24h: 24h. Ingestive was observed as continuous (feeding, ruminating, idling) specific (urination, defecation, water salt access frequency) activities 48h (3h intervals total eight periods 24h). The behavioral affected only by (p = 0.0001). Feeding peaks high at 8:00–11:00am (54.2%) 5:00-8:00pm (54.9%) compare ruminating idling same period. Rumination time intense night, 63.7% (2:00–5:00am) 69.7% (5:00–8:00am). Idling (49.7%) long after supply. during morning periods. Supply up 24h did alter behavior.
